Re: Decision to make

Hello group. With regard to actually receiving another offer in order to force your hand with the current employer there are a few things to consider.
Are you really just getting an offer to see if your current employer will give you a raise? Don't you feel like this might be misleading (to the other company)?
Professionalism would dictate that if you are pursuing an offer it should be with the intent to accept if the salary and package meet your requirements - not just to wave that offer under your bosses nose.
Yes I am a recruiter but this rule of thumb applies whether a recruiter is involved or not. Professionalism should guide your actions. 

Thanks,

If you are asking will the iSeries be around long enough to make a
career of then I think the answer is yes, especially for someone like
you who is willing to try new things.  You need to decide what you
would like to do all day.  My company trained a good RPG programmer in
the SAP ABAP programming language, which you would think would be a
ticket to lifetime employment (although there are changes there too)
but she left to go back working with RPG.

I agree with others who have said do not use the new opportunity as a
negotiating tactic.  If you have gripes, express them tactfully and
work them out.  If they don't work out, move on as you can.
